He wandered aimlessly for awhile until he realized he didn’t know where he was going to go next. He had two badges and five pokémon to his credit, but he still felt Jamal would be doing better. “So where do you want to go?” He asked his pokémon, not expecting an answer. <Lavender is the obvious choice.> A new voice sounded in his head. He stopped his bike and looked around for source. He chuckled, remembering his new psychic sensitivity. <And you would be?> He asked reaching out with his mind. <Your Drowzee boyee, you called me ‘Playa.’> He paused. <Playa, I c’n work wit dat name.> <I take it you don’t like your pokéball either?> The reply was halfway between a snort and a chuckle. Phannon reached for his belt and let out the pokémon. <You’re my pokémon and you’ll do what I say.> I motioned for him to walk. <Go yiff yerself.> Phannon blinked, speechless. <Okay, what do you want to do?> <Betta.> Playa flexed, literally. <You can’t do that in a pokéball. Thanx fer springin’ me an’ all, but I’m gonna jet.> The pokémon jumped up on Phannon’s shoulder and grabbed his hat, running off. “Hey come back here!” Phannon dropped his backpack and chased the pokémon through the streets of Saffron. The Drowzee tried to lose him by running down side streets and almost did, until Phannon linked with the fleeing pokémon. “I want my HAT!!” <Okay, son, come ‘n git yo hat.> Playa taunted. <Scrap fo’ it, boyee.> Phannon slid to a stop and accepted the challenge. Phannon told Generator to wait with his bike. The two circled, Phannon adopting the traditional lanky fighting stance, and Playa waving his hands trying to hypnotize Phannon. He blindly charged the pokémon and landed several solid punches before it’s Hypnosis worked its magic, putting him to sleep. Playa feasted on his dreams, turning them to nightmares, one woke Phannon up with a jolt. He snap-kicked at the drowzee, doing a two-hit knee/kick combo on it. His hat dropped of Playa’s head, and he dove for it, putting it back in its customary position. Playa leapt at Phannon and pounded him, finishing with an insulting backslap that stung his cheek. Phannon dropkicked the pokémon and tried to link to it psychically, he did, just as Playa let loose a confusion attack that dropped Phannon to his knees, clutching his head. Slowly the damage evenly distributed itself across the link, and Playa almost passed out. Phannon stepped back and regained his senses. Playa wanting to win the scrap, used confusion again. Phannon screamed and clutched his head, Playa felt the echo over the link and fainted. Phannon staggered to his feet and saw the pokémon, resisting his urge to leave it he recalled it and headed for the pokécenter. He attempted to sever the link, but realized it was gone, even though he still felt his pokémon. _So that’s what a pokéball feels like._ Phannon mentally probed the connection between him and his Drowzee and realized they were connected deeper then the usual link. <You damn right we are, boyee.> Playa said. <Go messin’ wit stuff ya don unnastan’ an’ dis happen.> <You fainted.> Phannon finally reached the pokécenter and was waiting in line to be helped. Playa snorted. <I’m usin’ yo energy now. We’re bonded.> <BONDED!?> Phannon jumped. <What’s that mean?> <It means I’m stuck witcha, dat’s what it mean.> Playa grumbled. <How do we unbond?> Phannon shook his head. <How’d we bond?> <You DIE that’s how we unbond!> Phannon took an involuntary step back. <Damned if I knew how we bonded.> <Great that means you’re always gonna be in my head.> Phannon mused. <It ain’t no pahty fo me eitha, son.> Phannon could’ve swore Playa spit here. <I don wanna be some brats fam agin.> <Fam?> Phannon was surprised. <You’re just a pokémon. How could you be a fam?> <First off, I’m more ‘n ‘just a pokémon.’ Second I’m a fam only ‘cuz o’ dat yiffin’ curse.> <What curse?> Phannon passed the pokéball over the counter getting intrigued. <That yiffin’ curse that the yiffin’ wizard put on me, all those years ago.> Playa grumbled. <Immortality ain’ what it’s crak’d up t’ be kid.> Phannon left the building, and realized he had no idea where his bike was. He reached out with his mind and found Generator. He followed the presence of his pokémon and found his bike waiting for him. He grabbed his backpack and hopped on, riding back to the pokécenter. Playa was waiting for him and Phannon felt much better after he retrieved the pokémon. He let Playa out of the ball. <Whaddya want?> The irate Drowzee grumbled. <Ya got fo secondz ‘for I take yo hat an’ pearl.> Phannon shrugged. “Where ever you go, I’ll find you.” Playa cringed. “You’re mine ‘till one of us dies.” “I guess you’re right.” Playa spoke in slurred but otherwise completely intelligible English. “You can talk?” “course I c’n talk, son. Don’t git far witout bein’ able t’ talk.” “If you’re so old why don’t you evolve?” Playa shrugged and flashed white, reshaping into a Hypno. “I can switch when I want to.” HE shrugged again. “I have a store of stuff in the Pokémon tower, so I want it back. I’m going to get it.” He walked off. “You coming?” “Sure.” Phannon started after him “You know how to ride handlebars?” Playa hopped onto the bike and the two of them started off towards Lavender town.
